MY EXPERIMENT WITH WRITING RAPIDLY
The experiment continues as I move into writing the sixth book in the Rivals in Love series. So far I’m surviving and perhaps thriving. The idea appealed to me and made sense. I knew when I wrote and released the first two books, I would need to continue what I envisioned to be a six…

WHAT WAS I THINKING?
This post might sound a bit like “What I did on my summer vacation.” I wrote. After falling out of my office chair and flailing away from my laptop for a few months, I suddenly stood up and swiveled my way back to work. And did I ever. As with most writers, doubt seeps into…

IT WAS MEANT TO BE
We recently traveled to southern California to attend the wedding of my husband’s nephew. While at my mother-in-law’s funeral, we learned of the wedding in San Diego and decided we would make the trip. The decision to go turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made in recent years. There are times…

COME WHAT COME MAY
Welcome to Summer – It’s almost here. The Memorial Day weekend always signaled to me the start of something fresh and new. No school, fun days at the beach, and sleeping late. In early summer, I would go out to our wild raspberry patch in the side yard and pick the best tasting fruit…

This weekend marked one such celebration when I realized I was surrounded by vital, thriving, funny, and loving women and men who were all hurtling toward seventy–some…

Writing Again with Pleasure
Patience. Faith. And a little bit of nature. A few weeks ago, I admitted I hadn’t been writing. It must have done the trick because soon after I sat myself down in the chair, bed, couch, recliner–wherever it felt right–and picked back up with Love on Track. Some bits of inspiration have come from enjoying…

Happy 2019
Paddling My Way to a New Year We spent New Year’s Day kayaking on the Econofina River in north Florida. The day was foggy, and we got lost in the reeds, but we returned home refreshed and ready to begin 2019. Nature restores me and gives me hope. While I’m enjoying kayaking, yoga, golf, and…

#NewRelease from P.C. Zick
This month as summer wanes, I have two books I’ve re-released as my own. Originally, I wrote these books for Amazon’s Kindle Worlds as a part of Melissa Foster’s Remington World. This meant that Amazon owned the rights until they stopped publishing them. In July, they ended the Kindle Worlds program and returned rights…
